Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.

I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.

A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.

Christianity is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of Him!

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.

The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.

If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.

Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone!

But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.

I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.

Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.

A Christian who isn't praying, is only playing!
